FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD REMINDERS

As a courtesy to all homeowners and residents, your HOA wants to remind everyone of our responsibilities & obligations around our neighborhood, especially here in the summertime.  Complying with our Covenants not only shows respect to our fellow neighbors and helps to preserve our beautiful neighborhood, but it also avoids any misunderstandings or future corrective action.  

We ask that our residents make every effort to comply with our Covenants on these more common infractions during this time of the year:  

Campers/Trailers are only allowed to be on any Lot or parked in the street for 7 consecutive days; 14 total days/year.

Waste/Recycling Totes or Containers are still required to be kept out of street view except on collection days.  Placing them up next to the home without screening from street view or in front of a garage door with a vehicle backed up against them, is not acceptable per our Covenants.  The totes are larger now; however, all homeowners are still to comply, especially out of consideration for those who have taken the extra steps for adjustments to make room in their garages or with additional fencing or screening.

Street Parking in the opposite flow of traffic & any vehicle extending over the sidewalk at the end of the homeowner’s driveway is not permitted.  Parking as such is illegal & against the Town of Avon’s Ordinances, as well as State Law. 

Thanks for everyone’s help on these matters! 

In Memory of Randel Patterson. Randel lived in Stratford and his love of bees & passionate knowledge of them will always be remembered. 

BE in the Know!  BE Kept Up to Date!  By frequently visiting this website designed just for our Stratford homeowners!  Speaking of "BE's", did you know that:

World Bee Day is celebrated each year on May 20th?  Bees help feed and fuel communities by pollinating crops. In fact, some scientists estimate that one out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of animal pollinators like bees. From plants to final product, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has programs to help bee and honey producers every step of the way. Their programs can help protect and conserve
habitat, protect beekeeping investments and recover from disasters impacting operation.

USDA Farmers Bulletin

Raising & protecting bees has become a very serious matter.  In fact, did you know that a recent Law passed by the Indiana Legislatures and effective July 1, 2024 has adopted legislation limiting the ability of Indiana homeowner associations to regulate beekeeping?  Homeowner associations can NOT ban beekeeping, but they CAN adopt Rules regulating it. For more information concerning this new Law, please click on the Menu on the left-hand side of this Page under the MEMBERS SECTION, GOVERNING DOCUMENTS & FORMS, and select Indiana Legislative Updates 2024.  This new Law, as well as other legislative updates affecting homeowner associations in 2024, can also be found on that Page. 

BEE-come Involved!
Your Stratford Governing Documents Review Committee will be working on updating our Covenants over the next several months.  Included among the revisions will be language to accommodate this new Bee Law.  If anyone is interested in joining this Review Committee, where other revisions will also be addressed, please email [email protected]
